Question Pro 5.0 or Tri-Ax

Now I know this topic has been nearly beaten to the ground. I did a search and it seems like most people just LOVE the Pro 5.0 shifter and will take it any day over B&M, but I havent' found many Pro 5.0 vs. Tri-Ax shifter discussions. But since every time I hear about the Tri-Ax, I hear good news, I'm considering this too. I guess the biggest physical difference b/t the 2 is that the Tri is aluminum and the Pro is steel.

Now I need advice on comparison of the 2. Which is better? I'm looking for something that shortens the shifts and I like what I hear about the Tri-Ax helping you to hit 3rd everytime (even though I usually don't have a problem with it, but I dont' want to worry about missing it either). Also, I think it was the Tri-Ax I read that has a sort of clicking feeling when you shift to each gear which i think I would like.

Biggest problem are the long throws on the stock shifter. Still I don't want them excessively short either..... This is going on my street car. I dont' want anything too racey or something that will make shifting uncomfortable, but easier and more positive with shorter throws. I'm gonna put the stock knob and boot on it so it looks completely stock. I know also that Al is lighter than stainless steel and anything lighter than something else on my car catches my attention. ...and I don't see 6061 billet T6 aluminum bending or breaking anytime soon either.

Anyone have experience with Tri-Ax and Pro 5.0?????? What is so good about Pro 5.0 that I should get it over the Tri-Ax. It seems I'm kinda leaning towards the steeda shifter....
